Thank you for this information LW!
"This was forwarded to me by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny regarding some new
research on C-reactive protein levels in vaccinated infants. -
Evidence of serious health consequences was recently confirmed in the
Journal of Pediatrics in which CRP levels were measured after
vaccination. CRP, short for C-reactive protein, is a blood marker
indicating a heightened state of inflammation throughout the body.
The study involved infants in a neonatal intensive care unit who were
given two or more vaccines on the same day. A separate group of
infants were given one shot at a time, every three days. The vaccines
administered were DTaP, Hib, polio [IPV], hepatitis B and Prevnar.
The findings were disturbing:
· An abnormally elevated CRP occurred in 85 percent of
infants who received simultaneous vaccines and nearly 70 percent of
infants who received the shots one at a time.
· Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) and severe intraventricular
hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) also occurred in infants who
received multiple vaccines at the same time.
· Cardiorespiratory events (stopped breathing) occurred in 16
percent of all infants within 48 hours after receiving the vaccines.
· Infants who received DTaP, Prevnar and Hib as single
injections experienced the largest number of cardiorespiratory events
overall.
REF: Pourcyrous, M., et al. Primary Immunization of Premature
Infants with Gestational Age <35 Weeks. J of Pediatrics, Vol. 51,
Issue 2, Pages 167-172. August, 2007.
There are further concerns about elevated CRP levels. It was found in
a study of 62 children who were part of the Diabetes Autoimmunity
Study that when infants and young children have an elevated CRP
level, they have an increased risk of developing Type 1 (insulin-
dependent) diabetes in childhood. REF: Chase HP, et al. Elevated C-
reactive protein levels in the development of type 1 diabetes.

A request
I so much appreciate comments to the blog postings we provide. It really does make my day to know that someone is reading and taking something away from this work.
If you could please leave a name with a comment that would be awesome! It would be nice to know the world isn't full of anonymous people. I also think it discourages the trollish type people from posting. If you really believe in what you are saying, you'll have the courage to at least post a name.
As always, Thanks for listening...and as of recently, thanks for reading!

14 Ways You Can Eat Healthy On a Budget!
Thank Dr. Mercola for these helpful tips!
Here are the 14 top tips you need to know to find healthy food, even on a tight budget:
1. Choose local foods over organic foods.
2. If all that’s available or affordable is fresh, conventionally grown produce, buy it, wash it well at home, and eat it.
3. Look for local farms and food coops offering raw dairy products, eggs, produce, and grass-fed meat. This will allow you to cut out the middleman and save money. Buying in large quantities, such as a side of grass-fed beef, can also save you money in the long run as long as you have room to freeze it (and you consume it before it goes bad).
4. Skip prepared or pre-cut foods, which can cost up to double the amount as the unprepared versions.
5. Plan your meals ahead of time (including cooking large batches and freezing some for later) so you don’t splurge on expensive, unhealthy fast-food at the last minute.
6. Pass on junk foods like potato chips, soda, cookies, candy, and other snacks. These are a complete waste of money.
7. Buy lots of fresh veggies, they’re usually less expensive than canned versions (just make sure you use them before they go bad).
8. Only buy what you need. Keep track of what’s in your pantry so you don’t double-up on foods unnecessarily.
9. Clip coupons and use them when you can (but don’t buy something unhealthy just because it’s on sale).
10. Watch the register when you check out of the grocery store. They often ring up wrong prices, at your expense.
11. Shop with a calculator so you can determine if it’s really a better deal to buy something in bulk.
12. Watch weekly specials, and be aware of what’s really a good price. You can often find organic produce on sale for less than conventional produce if you know what prices to watch for.
13. If you have the space, grow your own fresh veggies such as greens, broccoli, tomatoes, cucumbers, string beans, etc.
14. Remember this rule of thumb: Fresh food is always better than frozen, but frozen is better than canned.

It's so easy and works really well. We're also changing our diet, or rather, using Max Tomlinson's Detox diet. It's really really good. It can be found in his book,

Toy Removed for Asbestos!
WASHINGTON (AP) — Four days before Christmas, Planet Toys Inc. wants stores to remove the company's CSI Fingerprint Examination Kit from their shelves after some tests had revealed samples of asbestos included in the kits.
The New York toy manufacturer sent a "stop sale" notice Friday, according to a statement on the company's Web site saying an investigation is under way into whether the kits pose a health threat to anyone using them.
The announcement comes about three weeks after the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit advocacy group, called on stores to remove the toys from their shelves. Lab studies from an asbestos awareness organization showed asbestos in some samples of the kit's fingerprint dust.
A spokesman with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which regulates product safety, said the federal agency is investigating the claims but could not say whether an official recall would be issued for the toy.
"CPSC is aware that certain retailers have begun pulling this product off store shelves and CPSC is investigating whether there is asbestos within the product that can harm children," spokesman Scott Wolfson said.
Walgreens stores removed the toy kits from their shelves Wednesday and is conducting its own investigation, said spokeswoman Carol Hively. "It's a temporary measure while we see for ourselves what the test shows," she said.
Officials at Planet Toys had no immediate comment.

The Navy made me do it...
This post is from James. Click the title and you can see the actual instruction. We thought that we were in the clear considering we all had the gastrointestinal flu and then some sinus issues when they started the flu shot crap. Because you can't have it when you're sick. They put him on the "delinquent list" and here's what happened....(and for the record, he did feel like crap awhile)
Well, actually there's an instruction (basically like a military rule) that requires ALL members of ALL branches to be vaccinated.
I reluctantly received my flu vaccine today. I'll post again if I start feeling like I'm coming down with something (though the info sheet provided to me indicated that it would be unrelated to the vaccine if I do).
